MYSTIFIES HIS AUDIENCE
Karl
Germain Appears In Dallas In
Marvelous Exhibitions of
Magical Work.
Karl Germain, the magician who
appeared at the Woodman Hall, Wed
nesday night under the auspices of
Dallas College, gave an entertain
ment whose merits far surpassed the
expectations of those in the large
audience which had assembled to
witness bis performance.
As a slight-of-hand performer, Mr,
Uertnain stands in a class alone. His
feats in this line of work were a
source of delight and bewilderment
to his audience. Starting, as he
remarked, "with a small bit of
nothing" he seemed to be able to pro
duce anything from a silk handerchief
to a complete service, managing his
tricks with such perfection as to make
the changes impossible of detection
and producing a series of the cleverest
and most beautiful illusions imagin
able.
His man ner on the stage is extremely
suave and pleasing, his graceful ges
turing in the performance of his tricks
being accompanied by a flow of witty
and entertaining conversation.;
The Germain entertainment is by
far the best that has been produced in
the Lyceum course of entertainments
in this city and Dallas College, under
whose auspices it was given is to be
congratulated on having been able to
secure a visit from one who stands
foremost in the ranks of the magicians
and sleight of hand performers before
the public today.

donia church and an elaborate New

Play In Salem Tonight.
The Dallas College basketball team
will go to Suletn today to play its first
League game against the team of
Willamette University. Dallas now
stands second in the Oregon League
and Willamette University sixth, but
owing to the new lineup in the Dallas
five, Manager VanOrsdel expects to
have a bard rub in tonights' game to
maintain his aggregation in its pres
ent standing. Thus far the various
teams are running close to their stand
ing in the league and it looks as
though the award of the pennant
might fall to any of them. Multnomah
Athletic Club still holds first place,
but the loss of of one single game on
the part of the clubmen would alter the
whole aspect of the contest.
Homestead Cases Still On.
The homestead cases in which
County Clerk Smith has been taking
testimony since Tuesday are still being
carried on and will probably not be
finished before the end of the week.
Testimony in the cases concerning the
claims of Richard Paul, J. H. Dunn
and J. Crowtber has already been
taken and yesterday the case of the
late William H. Butz was heard.
LAND REDWING'S SCALP
Oregons Win More Victories Defeat
Old-Time Opponents By Decisive
Scores.,
The Oregons are now playing in
one of the strongest basketball sections
of the United States and, with the
exception of its recent reverses at
Minneapolis and Stillwater has been
carrying everything before it.
No report has been received of any
game played Monday night and it is
understood that The Oregons and the
team in Hudson were unable to meet
on that date.
Tuesday and Wednesday night the
Oregon boys were matohed against
the famous Redwing five whom they
defeated by a narrow margin in
Dallas two years ago, while the Red
wings were en tour of the Pacific Coast.
The scores of the two recent games
indicate that Redwing has either
weakened since the time of its tour, or
Dallas has gained enormously in
strength, for in both games the latter
were victorious by exceedingly high
scores considering the mettle of the
two contesting aggregations. The
score Tuesday night was 23 to 16 in
favor of The Oregons, and on Wednes
day night 27 to 9. Both games were
rough but the best feeling existed be
tween the opposing teams.
The boys report that as they pro
gress eastward they are able to
observe les3 and leas of the swift
snappy team work which characterizes
basketball of the Pacific Coast, and
more and more reliance, on the part
of their opponents, upon weight,
strength and the individual brilliancy
of their players to carry the game.
This characteristic of the Eastern
play results in much harder and
rougher contests than the open system
and short passing employed by
Westerners.
Although the scores in the games at
Minneapolis and Stillwater materially
reduce the score, the total number of
points still shows that The Oregons
are maintaining an enormous lead
over their opponents. The total of the
scores of game up to and including
Wednesday night is as follows :
Oregons, 43 Vancouver,
Oregons, 34 ' Winlock,
Oregons, 34 Seattle,
Oregons, 42 Rossly n,
